Lorenzo Biliboc, statements after U Cluj – CFR 2-1: “It's the first time I've played for seniors and I didn't expect to have so many successes”
“My impression of the match was that it was a balanced match and the details made the difference. In a match, mistakes can bring advantages and disadvantages. At the beginning of the match it seemed that we were dominating, we had 3-4 chances to score and we were not decisive there.
It's my first time playing at the senior level and I didn't expect to have so many successes. This is what I work for, to have successes and trophies with the team.
Of course, my team has a chance for the title, we are very good, we are together. Today we lost, tomorrow we start again and we never give up,” said Biliboc, to Digi Sport.
Also completed by the veteran Mario Camora (39 years old), who extended his contract with the “railwaymen” on Monday.
If we go by the total, I think it was a balanced match, a draw was the right result. But we're moving on, we have a match against Rapid on Friday, who are in first place, and we have to win.
This play-off is tighter than ever, we need to win with Rapid and be closer to the first place. U Cluj, this season, has the best team in recent years, it has quality players and we, together with them, I think are the fittest.
